Using Rlwrap for Sqlplus

rpm package for SUSE compatible    (x86_64) distribution you can download here.

su –

# exit
echo “alias sqlplus=’rlwrap sqlplus'” >> /home/oracle/.bash_profile
. /home/oracle/.bash_profile

spfile is created in folder DB_UNKNOWN

Oracle 11g / 64Bit linux / Asm

restoring spfile using rman , the spfile is located in a wrong location

+DATA1/DB_UNKNOWN/PARAMETERFILE/SPFILE.185.634235834

Solution is explained in Metalink solution in Note: 393932.1

1. Create a pfile
   SQL> create pfile='/tmp/pfile' from spfile'+DATA/DB_UNKNOWN/PARAMETERFILE/SPFILE.185.634235834';

2.
Shutdown and startup mount using the restored spfile
   SQL> startup mount force pfile=/tmp/pfile

3. Restore
the spfile again to the correct location as DB_NAME is correctly set this time.
   RMAN> restore spfile;

4. Startup again using the spfile
   SQL> startup force
